Tasting Notes: On the palate, this Merlot is juicy with flavours of Bing, wild sweet cherry, blackberry and notes of crushed herb all underpinned by the spice from the French Oak the wine sees during aging. This medium-bodied wine is well-integrated with balanced fruit, oak and acidity and leaves a lasting finish.
An unusually warm winter and spring droughts led to earlier budbreak and lower yields while record heat waves during growing season resulted in a higher concentration of fruit flavour in the grapes. Those same conditions led to uncontrollable wildfires in late August and early September. Thankfully, The Path completed harvest before the fires and the smoke arrived, so the wines weren't ever in jeopardy of getting smoke tainted. The 2020 vintage wines have greater depth, more complexity and unique aromatics compared to previous vintages.
